Chapter 1501

Everything went smoothly this time.When Sam and Quinn stepped out, they each carried their divorce certificate. Ryan walked up to Quinn in crutches, asking, "Is it done?""Yeah," Quinn replied.She held out the papers, which Ryan hurriedly snatched to read, smiling after he did.He was worried something unexpected would happen—that was why he followed Quinn here.If anything, he did not expect things to go this smoothly.Sam and Quinn did not say a word to each other either, and they were done soon after they got in without dragging their feet.Did they really feel nothing for each other? Was that why they split up so quickly? Or did something happen between them?Either way, Ryan was satisfied as long as they were divorced—he could be with Quinn out in the open now. Moreover, he was confident that Quinn would return to him soon without Sam tying her down.As they stepped out of the civil bureau, Ryan even called out to Sam, "Why haven't you come home lately even after our

Chapter 1502

Sam remained nonchalant. "It's no hurry. I've been preparing for half a month."He did not seem affected that he would be leaving the country along with his friends and family."When are you coming back?" Ryan asked.Sam shrugged. "No idea—it depends on how things go. I'll be back early if things go smoothly. If they don't, who knows?"Ryan had more to say but realized he had nothing more to say.He took Quinn's hand just then.Quinn seemed to regain her senses just then, and she pursed her lips, a tear rolling off the corner of her eye.She hid it well."Come on," Ryan told her.She nodded, not saying a word to Sam even in parting.Sam did not look at her, because he knew he could only watch her leave when she had gone far with Ryan, which he did.Inr reality, there were plenty of talented representatives in Saunderia—Sam did not have to go abroad himself. Still, he offered to do it to stay away from them.As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind—just like now.He

Chapter 1503

Sam returned to the country six months later.Saunderia's foreign branch was developing smoothly, and everything was on the right track.Still, Sam returned only to attend the celebration of Zoe's son's birth, not because he missed home.Time flies—Zoe was still heavily pregnant when he left, and the baby was three months old now.Sam headed home first without telling anyone when he came back—it was dusty since it was vacant for a while, so he had cleaners tidy up the place.He lay on the familiar bed, alone in the house.That night, he loved the woman he held most dear, but it was nothing more than history.He would have worked hard to forget if he had not returned, and he had no idea if he succeeded.Still, it had been six months since he and Quinn spoke—there were times when his parents spoke to him through video call from Saunders Mansion. However, it was usually night and Quinn did not show up, though Sam occasionally would catch a glimpse of her.Sam tossed around—the ce

Chapter 1504

Zoe promptly texted Cordy: [Sam is back! He's really back! He just entered the hall!]Cordy: [I told you he'd come. You didn't believe me.]Zoe: [How should I know that I'm that attractive?]Cordy sent a speechless emoji, spotting Sam, who was very tall and easy to spot in a crowd, as she looked up just then. "Sam," John called out to him just then, and he quickly made his way toward them and sat down."When did you get back?" John asked."Noon yesterday," Sam replied."Why didn't you tell us?" Bob snorted, a little miffed just then. "What, too important to hang out with your brothers now that your career has taken off?""My career's taken off? Have you ever seen Johnny's pockets?" Sam rolled his eyes.Bob simply shrugged. John then asked, "When are you going back?""In two days. I'll be visiting my parents before that," Sam replied."So you don't have time for us now, do you?" Bob butted in."It's a little rushed since there's still stuff to do," Sam said. "We have all

Chapter 1505

Just before the banquet began, Zoe came to sit with Cordy."What are you doing here alone?" Quinn teased.Zoe shrugged. "What's the issue?""Where's your baby boy?""Oh, my mom's taking care of him." Zoe waved her off. "All he does is eat and poop. Boring."While Quinn appeared speechless, Zoe asked her, "Now, what about you?""What about me?" Quinn appeared bemused."That bun in your oven, I mean," Zoe said bluntly.Clang.Everyone turned to find that Sam had dropped his cup on the table, spilling tea all over.Since the banquet had not started, he, Bob, and John were all drinking tea.Still, Sam calmly picked up his cup again and pulled up some tissues, slowly wiping the puddle.There was not much reaction on his face either, and he continued chatting with John and Bob, as if dropping his cup was a perfectly normal mistake."We're fine," Quinn said just then. "I used to feel so queasy, but I can now eat and sleep easily.""Well, you've put on weight," Zoe said, studying

Chapter 1506

As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a

Chapter 1507

At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

Chapter 1508

The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

Chapter 1509

Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

Chapter 1510

However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I
